well, you are jumping to conclusions here .. first a few words to clarify ... - networking happens on the host (for now), the guest does not interfere with that - guests are restricted to IPs, not to interfaces - interfaces which do not carry IPs assigned to a guest are hidden inside a guest - routing is placed on the host and is _not_ affected by any guest setups - giving CAP_SYS_ADMIN,CAP_NET_ADMIN or CAP_NET_RAW is compromising your guest security, and is seldom what you really want ... now for your situation: - the interface hiding can be controlled via the (by default enabled) hide_netif flag. turn it off and you will see all interfaces - you probably do not 'route' through that interface because the host routing does not specify any route through that interface for the IP(s) assigned to your guest - assigning the/a ppp IP to the guest will have two effects: a) ppp will become visible and b) packets routed through ppp might use that IP (which is probably what you want) HTH, Herbert > Thank you, > Etienne > > > _______________________________________________ > Vserver mailing list > [email protected] > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
